WATER-PUMPING
Electricity Committee Recedes
From Effort to Lay Burden
on Water W orks.
TOTAL OUTLAY $618,304.98
j-Xo Figures Yet Available to
Shuw What Street Lights
Cost.
Reviving: a proposition which died
with the old Council, the Council
Committee on Electricity yesterday af?
ternoon recommended to the Council
an ordinance creating the position ot
iSupeiiutendent of the City Electrical
i'lant. fixing the pay of tne employes
of the works and directing how the
plant shall be operated. To meet ob?
jections raised in the old Council by
Captain Morgan R. Mills, chairman ot
the Committee* 011 Water, the rate to
be charged for electrical current for
pumping water was cut from 2 cents
to 1 cent per kilowatt. The election
of the proposed superintendent, whose
salary is fixed in the ordinance at |li,
750, is left to the Administrative
lioar-i.
The management of the electrical
plant has been a perpetual bone of
contention. Up to this lime no definite
action has been taken by the Coun?
cil, and since its completion the plant
has beer, operated by Consulting Engi?
neer E. W. Trafford. wfio planned and
supervised its erection. The Commit?
tee on Electricity has paid him $3011
per month for Iiis services as super?
intendent, allowing him to take out?
side electrical engineering work. an<
to charge the city a commission on all
construction work.
The number and pay of employes of
the plant has never been lixed by
ordinance, and has been increased fronii
time to time by the Committee on Elec-I
trlcltjr as far as funds at its disposal i
would allow. In lodging his protest;
itgainst the old ordinance. Captain
-Mills charged that the cost of building
and of operation of the electric plant
iiad been excessive, and that it was now
proposed, by an unreasonable charg-3.
against the Water Department for pow-j
er used In water pumping, to make it!
appear on the books that the electric!
plant was a prosperous undertaking. 1
No annual report of the electric plant!
was submitted to the Mayor last year,
nor is any report of its operations in-j
eluded in the bound volume of city re-|
ports for the year, so that it is difficult |
at this time to arrive at the cost of!
lights furnished under municipal own-,
ership. '
Promised Cheaper Light.
While the cost of construction near-j
ly doubled original estimates, it is also,
true that the number of lights has been
increased, and a large number of orna
mental lights added, not included itil
the original calculations. It is rc
called by many that when the bond is
sue for erection of the- electric plant
was pending before the Hoard of Alder?
men in 19ti8. Mr. TrafTord was invited
on the floor and made the statement
that the $-50,uoo to be provided would
pay for all costs ol a plant on the sit"
of the Old i'umpnouse, which would
pump all city water as a by-product,
and furnish street arc lamps at not.
more than $3t> each per year. The city
was then paying 154.74 each per year
for arc lamps to the Virginia Railway1
and Power Company, and the prospec-j
tive saving seemed considerable. Bonds
were issued to the extent of |tSd,*04,j
i covering the cost of the plant as esti-j
i mated an.l setting apart JluO.OOO fo.-|
establishment of electrical pumping
j machinery for the Water Department.
! Additional annual appropriations have
! been mail- each year since from cur-;
! rent funds. |
Up to October 1 last, the grand total
of all payments made cut of the city
treasury on account of the electric'
plant ha* been $>;? v.:?l.t'S. divided as

GRAND JURYENDS
GOUNTYTAXPROBE
No Indictments Found Against
Henrico Citizens for Im?
proper Returns.
$319,937 ADDED TO VALUES
Severe Criticism of Existing
Laws Is Feature of Final
Report to Judge Scott j
The special grand jury which has'
been investigating the tax returns in
Henrico County closed its labors yes- j
terday afternoon at 1 o'clock by pre- j
tenting to Judge Scott a report which j
pointed out the weaknesses of the
present tax laws, and staled that the!
inevitable result of a stringent effort to
enforce them "in their literal en?
tirety will be to bring the tax laws!
into discredit, and to increase the ten- j
dency to evade the payment of taxes j
by subterfuge, concealment, or even!
deliberate perjury."
The grand Jury placed the blame J
for the condition which now obtains, !
first, on the lax manner in which the j
commissioners of revenue allow tax- !
payers to assess themselves, and, sec-j
ond. to the general Ignorance of the
laws on the part of the people as a
whole.
No indictments were returned as a |
result of the investigation. In view
of tlie public ignorance of Ihe taejl
and other conditions, the report stutes
that the grand Jury found no evi?
dence of criminal intent on the pjrt
of any citizen to defraud the S alt
of its Just revenue.
Several additional witnesses wei ??;
examined at the session yesterday morn?
ing, and as a result, about $37.u0o
more was added to the already large
sum of corrected returns. The total
of the additions to the county's tax- .
able values made during the invest! .
gation'is $31 ?."37. This sum is 8 1-.'
per cent of .the entire amount of pro?
perty listed in the original return?.
On the presentation of its report,
the grand jury was commended by
Judge Scott for the sincerity and
thoroughness of its work, and w is
discharged. It had held six Sittings
since originally summoned on O- t'-bei i
!*?
The Report.
The etitirc report of the grand jury
follows:
Richmond. Va.. November 15, 1913.
To the Hon. R. Carter Scott, Judge .1
the Circuit Court of Henrico Count: :'
We, the special grand jury im-j
paneled to Investigate the tux re?
turns made by the citizens of Henrico |
*'ounty. respectfully report to the
Honorable Court as follows:
In the discharge of the work given j
it. the grand jury held six meetings, j
and carefully examined in detail every
tax return made in Henrico County.'
It called as witnesses the two com?
missioners of revenue of Henrico
County and also a number ol < itl- j
zens of Henrico County.
Upon hearing the witnesses and)
acting upon its ow n knowledge-and in-!
formation, the grand Jury cam-- to tne i
conclusion that there was no evidence j
of criminal intent on the part of cltt-1
zens of Hc-nrtco County. It 's a fact j
that citizens of Henrico County came i
forward and increased their assess- I
ments and corrected their errors, as!
shown on the accompanying report;
drawn up by the commissioners of reve?
nue under the instructions of tne
grand jury, to the aggregate amount
ot $319.937. j
This sum. large at it seems, is only
a boat I 1-2 per cent ot the assessi U .
valuation already turned in Oy the !
citizens of Henrico County, and Ute j
gland jury feels that it owes to th>-i
citizens of Henrico County to speiiii
csJIy state that tt.e condition* which;
made such an error possible are to be
found in I We fundamental causes;
Tii st. the lax enforcement of the tax
laws by the commissioners of revenue,
who. Ho Kratid jury regrets to say,1
have followed the long c-SMb-ishe-.i :
practb e of allowing everybody to as
eeM themselves.
And. second, to the general failure
of the people either to understand t h?-!
pSQSlSlOBS or cordially approve th
principles ot the tax laws as tncy are
now west tea.
No citizens complain of the principle)
or practice of i*S'dsmcnts on real eO-|
t?te. But none that we have met be- ;
lteve in. or support in their ? ntirety. j
the present lass of Virginia covering!
the taxation for themselves or otheisj
i ot that class of property known as!
choses in action or intangible persona,
property. This open or sucnt a^fanot
ttoti of the c itizens, combined wita th'
lax practice above referred to. has
made the miintll of mtanglb.e per-1
j sonal propel ty in this State unjust and
aneaoaa
The grand Jury throughout its ses?
sions found a willingness on the pi t
of ih> <ittz~r?s to (o-operate, a no a
widespread and proper belief that the
: duty of tne cltisens was to pay their
taxes (nirty.
